The Power of Concentration by Theron Q. Dumont, LESSON XX. CONCENTRATION REVIEWED

LESSON XX. CONCENTRATION REVIEWED

In bringing this book to a close, I again want to impress you with the inestimable value of concentration, because those that lack this great power or, rather that fail to develop it, will generally suffer from poverty and unhappiness and their life's work will most often be a failure, while those that develop and use it will make the most of life's opportunities,

I have tried to make these lessons practical and I am sure that many will find them so. Of course the mere reading of them will not do you a great deal of good, but, if the exercises are practiced and worked out and applied to your own individual case, you should be able to acquire the habit of concentration in such measure as to greatly improve your work and increase your happiness.

But remember the best instruction can only help you to the extent to which you put it into practice. I have found it an excellent idea to read a book through first, and then re-read it, and when you come to an idea that appeals to you, stop and think about it, then if applicable to you, repeat it over and over, that you will be impressed by it. In this way you can form the habit of picking out all the good things you read and these will have a wonderful influence on your character.

In this closing chapter, I want to impress you to concentrate on what you do, instead of performing most of your work unconsciously or automatically, until you have formed habits that give you the mastery of your work and your life powers and forces.

Very often the hardest part of work is thinking about it. When you get right into it, it does not seem so disagreeable. This is the experience of many when they first commence to learn how to concentrate. So never think it a difficult task, but undertake it with the "I Will Spirit" and you will find that its acquirement will be as easy as its application will be useful. Read the life of any great man, and you will generally find that the dominant quality that made him successful was the ability to concentrate. Study those that have been failures and you will often find that lack of concentration was the cause.

"One thing at a time, and that done will Is a good rule as I can tell." All men are not born with equal powers, but it is the way they are used that counts. "Opportunity knocks at every man's door." Those that are successful hear the knock and grasp the chance. The failures believe that luck and circumstances are against them. They always blame someone else instead of themselves for their lack of success. We get what is coming to us, nothing more or less. Anything within the universe is within your grasp. Just use your latent powers and it is yours. You are aided by both visible and invisible forces when you concentrate on either "to do" or "to be." Everyone is capable of some concentration, for without it you would be unable to say or do anything. People differ in the power to concentrate because some are unable to Will to hold the thought in mind for the required time. The amount of determination used determines who has the strongest will. No one's is stronger than yours. Think of this whenever you go against a strong opponent.

Never say "I can't concentrate today." You can do it just the minute you say "I will." You can keep your thoughts from straying, just the same as you can control your arms. When once you realize this fact, you can train the will to concentrate on anything you wish. If it wanders, it is your fault. You are not utilizing your will. But, don't blame it on your will and say it is weak. The will is just the same whether you act as if it were weak or as if it were strong. When you act as if your will is strong you say, "I can." When you act as if it were weak you say, "I can't." It requires the same amount of effort, in each case.

Some men get in the habit of thinking "I can't" and they fail. Others think "I can" and succeed. So remember, it is for you to decide whether you will join the army of "I can't" or "I can." The big mistake with so many is that they don't realize that when they say "I can't," they really say, "I won't try." You can not tell what you can do until you try. "Can't" means you will not try. Never say you cannot concentrate, for, when you do, you are really saying that you refuse to try.

Whenever you feel like saying, "I can't," say instead, "I possess all will and I can use as much as I wish." You only use as much as you have trained yourself to use.

An Experiment to Try. Before going to bed tonight, repeat, "I am going to choose my own thoughts, and to hold them as long as I choose. I am going to shut out all thoughts that weaken or interfere; that make me timid. My Will is as strong as anyone's else. While going to work the next morning, repeat this over. Keep this up for a month and you will find you will have a better opinion of yourself. These are the factors that make you a success. Hold fast to them always.

Concentration is nothing but willing to do a certain thing. All foreign thoughts can be kept out by willing that they stay out. You cannot realize your possibilities until you commence to direct your mind. You then do consciously what you have before done unconsciously. In this way you note mistakes, overcome bad habits and perfect your conduct.

You have at times been in a position that required courage and you were surprised at the amount you showed. Now, when once you arouse yourself, you have this courage all the time and it is not necessary to have a special occasion reveal it to you. My object in so strongly impressing this on your mind is to make you aware that the same courage, the same determination that you show at certain exceptionable times you have at your command at all times. It is a part of your vast resources. Use it often and well, in working out the highest destiny of which you are capable.

Final Concentration Instruction. You now realize that, in order to make your life worthy, useful and happy, you must concentrate. A number of exercises and all the needed instruction has been given. It now remains for you to form the highest ideal that you can in the present and live up to that ideal, and try to raise it. Don't waste your time in foolish reading. Select something that is inspiring, that you may become enrapport with those that think thoughts that are worth while. Their enthusiasm will inspire and enlighten you. Read slowly and concentrate on what you are reading. Let your spirit and the spirit of the author commune, and you will then sense what is between the lines—those great things which words cannot express.

Pay constant attention to one and one thing only for a given time and you will soon be able to concentrate. Hang on to that thought ceaselessly until you have attained your object. When you work, let your mind dwell steadily on your task. Think before you speak and direct your conversation to the subject under discussion. Do not ramble. Talk slowly, steadily and connectedly. Never form the hurry habit, but be deliberate in all you do. Assume static attitudes without moving a finger or an eyelid, or any part of your body. Read books that treat of but one continuous subject. Read long articles and recall the thread of the argument. Associate yourself with people who are steady, patient and tireless in their thought, action and work. See how long you can sit still and think on one subject without interruption.

Concentrating on the Higher Self. Father Time keeps going on and on. Every day he rolls around means one less day for you on this planet. Most of us only try to master the external conditions of this world. We think our success and happiness depends on us doing so. These are of course important and I don't want you to think they are not, but I want you to realize that when death comes, only those inherent and acquired qualities and conditions within the mentality—your character, conduct and soul growth—will go with you. If these are what they should be, you need not be afraid of not being successful and happy, for with these qualities you can mold external materials and conditions.

Study yourself. Find Your Strong Points And Make Them Stronger As Well As Yo Weak Ones And Strengthen Them. Study yourself carefully and you will see yourself as you really are.

The secret of accomplishment is concentration, or the art of turning all your power upon just one point at a time.

If you have studied yourself carefully you should have a good line on yourself, and should be able to make the proper interior re-adjustments. Remember first, last, and always, Right thinking and right Living necessarily results in happiness, and it is therefore within your power to obtain happiness. Anyone that is not happy does not claim their birthright.

Keep in mind that some day you are going to leave this world and think of what you will take with you. This will assist you to concentrate on the higher forces. Now start from this minute, to act according to the advice of the higher self in everything you do. If you do, its ever harmonious forces will necessarily insure to you a successful fulfilment of all your life purposes. Whenever you feel tempted to disobey your higher promptings, hold the thought

"My-higher-self-insures-to-me-the-happiness-of-doing-that-which -best-answers-my-true-relations-to-all-others." You possess latent talents, that when developed and utilized are of assistance to you and others. But if you do not properly use them, you shirk your duty, and you will be the loser and suffer from the consequences. Others will also be worse off if you do not fulfil your obligations.

When you have aroused into activity your thought powers you will realize the wonderful value of these principles in helping you to carry out your plans. The right in the end must prevail. You can assist in the working out of the great plan of the universe and thereby gain the reward, or you can work against the great plan and suffer the consequences. The all consuming fires are gradually purifying all discordant elements. If you choose to work contrary to the law you will burn in its crucible, so I want you to learn to concentrate intelligently on becoming in harmony with your higher self. Hold the thought: "I-will-live-for-my-best. I-seek-wisdom, self-knowledge, happiness-and-power-to-help-others. I-act-from-the-higher-self, therefore-only-the-best-can-come-to-me. The more we become conscious of the presence of the higher self the more we should try to become a true representative of the human soul in all its wholeness and holiness, instead of wasting our time dwelling on some trifling external quality or defect. We should try to secure a true conception of what we really are so as not to over value the external furnishings. You will then not surrender your dignity or self respect, when others ignorantly make a display of material things to show off. Only the person that realizes that he is a permanent Being knows what the true self is.

In bringing this book to a close, I again want to impress you with the inestimable value of concentration, because those that lack this great power or, rather that fail to develop it, will generally suffer from poverty and unhappiness and their life’s work will most often be a failure, while those that develop and use it will make the most of life’s opportunities, |||||||||||||||immeasurable|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| En terminant ce livre, je veux à nouveau vous impressionner par la valeur inestimable de la concentration, car ceux qui n'ont pas ce grand pouvoir ou, plutôt, qui ne parviennent pas à le développer, souffriront généralement de la pauvreté et du malheur et le travail de leur vie sera le plus souvent un échec, alors que ceux qui le développent et l'utilisent tireront le meilleur parti des opportunités de la vie, Nel concludere questo libro, voglio ancora una volta sottolineare il valore inestimabile della concentrazione, perché coloro che mancano di questo grande potere o, piuttosto, che non riescono a svilupparlo, generalmente soffriranno di povertà e infelicità e il lavoro della loro vita sarà spesso un fallimento, mentre coloro che lo sviluppano e lo usano trarranno il massimo dalle opportunità della vita.

I have tried to make these lessons practical and I am sure that many will find them so. J'ai essayé de rendre ces leçons pratiques et je suis sûr que beaucoup les trouveront ainsi. Ho cercato di rendere queste lezioni pratiche e sono certo che molti le troveranno tali. Of course the mere reading of them will not do you a great deal of good, but, if the exercises are practiced and worked out and applied to your own individual case, you should be able to acquire the habit of concentration in such measure as to greatly improve your work and increase your happiness. Naturalmente, la semplice lettura di esse non ti porterà molto beneficio, ma, se gli esercizi verranno praticati e applicati al tuo caso individuale, dovresti essere in grado di acquisire l'abitudine alla concentrazione in misura tale da migliorare notevolmente il tuo lavoro e aumentare la tua felicità.

But remember the best instruction can only help you to the extent to which you put it into practice. Aber denken Sie daran, dass der beste Unterricht Ihnen nur in dem Maße helfen kann, in dem Sie ihn in die Praxis umsetzen. Mais rappelez-vous que la meilleure instruction ne peut vous aider que dans la mesure où vous la mettez en pratique. Ma ricorda che la migliore istruzione può aiutarti solo nella misura in cui la metti in pratica. I have found it an excellent idea to read a book through first, and then re-read it, and when you come to an idea that appeals to you, stop and think about it, then if applicable to you, repeat it over and over, that you will be impressed by it. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||resonates|||||||||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||tú||||| Ich habe die Erfahrung gemacht, dass es eine ausgezeichnete Idee ist, ein Buch zuerst durchzulesen und es dann noch einmal zu lesen, und wenn man auf eine Idee stößt, die einem gefällt, innezuhalten und darüber nachzudenken, und sie dann, wenn sie auf einen zutrifft, immer wieder zu wiederholen, damit man davon beeindruckt wird. J'ai trouvé que c'était une excellente idée de lire un livre d'abord, puis de le relire, et quand vous arrivez à une idée qui vous plaît, arrêtez-vous et réfléchissez-y, puis si cela s'applique à vous, répétez-la encore et encore. , que vous en serez impressionné. Ho trovato che è un'ottima idea leggere un libro tutto d'un fiato e poi rileggerlo, e quando ti imbatti in un'idea che ti colpisce, fermati e pensaci, poi se è applicabile a te, ripetila più e più volte, in modo che ti colpisca. In this way you can form the habit of picking out all the good things you read and these will have a wonderful influence on your character. In questo modo puoi sviluppare l'abitudine di estrarre tutte le cose buone che leggi e queste avranno una meravigliosa influenza sul tuo carattere.

In this closing chapter, I want to impress you to concentrate on what you do, instead of performing most of your work unconsciously or automatically, until you have formed habits that give you the mastery of your work and your life powers and forces. Dans ce dernier chapitre, je veux vous inciter à vous concentrer sur ce que vous faites, au lieu d'effectuer la plupart de votre travail inconsciemment ou automatiquement, jusqu'à ce que vous ayez pris des habitudes qui vous donnent la maîtrise de votre travail et de vos pouvoirs et forces de vie. In questo capitolo finale, voglio impressionarti a concentrarti su ciò che fai, invece di svolgere la maggior parte del tuo lavoro in modo inconscio o automatico, fino a quando non hai formato abitudini che ti danno il dominio sul tuo lavoro e sui tuoi poteri e forze di vita.

Very often the hardest part of work is thinking about it. Très souvent, la partie la plus difficile du travail est d'y penser. When you get right into it, it does not seem so disagreeable. Quand on y pénètre, cela ne semble pas si désagréable. Quando ci si immerge, non sembra così sgradevole. This is the experience of many when they first commence to learn how to concentrate. Diese Erfahrung machen viele, wenn sie zum ersten Mal lernen, sich zu konzentrieren. Questa è l'esperienza di molti quando iniziano per la prima volta a imparare come concentrarsi. So never think it a difficult task, but undertake it with the "I Will Spirit" and you will find that its acquirement will be as easy as its application will be useful. |||||||||||||||||||||acquisition|||||||||| Ne pensez donc jamais que c'est une tâche difficile, mais entreprenez-la avec le "I Will Spirit" et vous constaterez que son acquisition sera aussi facile que son application sera utile. Quindi non pensare mai che sia un compito difficile, ma affrontalo con lo spirito dell' "Io Posso" e scoprirai che il suo apprendimento sarà tanto facile quanto la sua applicazione sarà utile. Read the life of any great man, and you will generally find that the dominant quality that made him successful was the ability to concentrate. Leggi la vita di un grande uomo e in generale troverai che la qualità dominante che lo ha reso di successo era la capacità di concentrarsi. Study those that have been failures and you will often find that lack of concentration was the cause. Studia coloro che hanno fallito e spesso troverai che la mancanza di concentrazione era la causa.

"One thing at a time, and that done will "Eins nach dem anderen, und das wird geschehen "Une chose à la fois, et cela sera fait "Una cosa alla volta, e quella fatta sarà Is a good rule as I can tell." È una buona regola, per quanto posso dire. All men are not born with equal powers, but it is the way they are used that counts. Non tutti gli uomini nascono con poteri uguali, ma è il modo in cui vengono usati che conta. "Opportunity knocks at every man’s door." L'opportunità bussa alla porta di ogni uomo. Those that are successful hear the knock and grasp the chance. Coloro che hanno successo sentono il colpo e afferrano l'occasione. The failures believe that luck and circumstances are against them. I falliti credono che la fortuna e le circostanze siano contro di loro. They always blame someone else instead of themselves for their lack of success. Incolpano sempre qualcun altro invece di se stessi per la loro mancanza di successo. We get what is coming to us, nothing more or less. Wir bekommen, was uns zusteht, nicht mehr und nicht weniger. Nous recevons ce qui nous arrive, ni plus ni moins. Otteniamo ciò che ci spetta, niente di più e niente di meno. Anything within the universe is within your grasp. Alles, was das Universum zu bieten hat, ist für Sie greifbar. Tout ce qui se trouve dans l'univers est à votre portée. Qualsiasi cosa nell'universo è alla tua portata. Just use your latent powers and it is yours. Basta usare i tuoi poteri latenti ed è tuo. You are aided by both visible and invisible forces when you concentrate on either "to do" or "to be." |||||||||||||どちらか||||| |||||||||||||cualquiera de||||| Vous êtes aidé à la fois par des forces visibles et invisibles lorsque vous vous concentrez sur « faire » ou « être ». Sei aiutato da forze sia visibili che invisibili quando ti concentri su "fare" o "essere." Everyone is capable of some concentration, for without it you would be unable to say or do anything. Tout le monde est capable d'une certaine concentration, car sans elle, vous seriez incapable de dire ou de faire quoi que ce soit. Tutti sono capaci di una certa concentrazione, poiché senza di essa non saresti in grado di dire o fare nulla. People differ in the power to concentrate because some are unable to Will to hold the thought in mind for the required time. Les gens diffèrent dans le pouvoir de se concentrer parce que certains sont incapables de vouloir garder la pensée à l'esprit pendant le temps requis. Le persone differiscono nel potere di concentrazione perché alcuni non riescono a volere mantenere il pensiero in mente per il tempo richiesto. The amount of determination used determines who has the strongest will. Der Grad der Entschlossenheit entscheidet darüber, wer den stärksten Willen hat. La quantité de détermination utilisée détermine qui a la volonté la plus forte. La quantità di determinazione utilizzata determina chi ha la volontà più forte. No one’s is stronger than yours. Nessuna è più forte della tua. Think of this whenever you go against a strong opponent. Pensez-y chaque fois que vous affrontez un adversaire puissant. Pensa a questo ogni volta che affronti un avversario forte.

Never say "I can’t concentrate today." You can do it just the minute you say "I will." Vous pouvez le faire juste à la minute où vous dites "je le ferai". You can keep your thoughts from straying, just the same as you can control your arms. ||||||divagare||||||||| ||||||divagando||||||||| Puoi mantenere i tuoi pensieri concentrati, proprio come puoi controllare le tue braccia. When once you realize this fact, you can train the will to concentrate on anything you wish. Quando una volta realizzi questo fatto, puoi allenare la volontà a concentrarsi su qualsiasi cosa tu desideri. If it wanders, it is your fault. ||roams or strays|||| Se vaga, è colpa tua. You are not utilizing your will. But, don’t blame it on your will and say it is weak. Mais ne blâmez pas votre volonté et ne dites pas qu'elle est faible. The will is just the same whether you act as if it were weak or as if it were strong. La volonté est la même, que vous agissiez comme si elle était faible ou comme si elle était forte. La volontà è la stessa che tu ti comporti come se fosse debole o come se fosse forte. When you act as if your will is strong you say, "I can." |tú||||||||||| Quando ti comporti come se la tua volontà fosse forte dici: "Posso." When you act as if it were weak you say, "I can’t." Quando ti comporti come se fosse debole dici: "Non posso." It requires the same amount of effort, in each case.

Some men get in the habit of thinking "I can’t" and they fail. Others think "I can" and succeed. So remember, it is for you to decide whether you will join the army of "I can’t" or "I can." Quindi ricorda, spetta a te decidere se unirti all'esercito di "Non posso" o "Posso." The big mistake with so many is that they don’t realize that when they say "I can’t," they really say, "I won’t try." Il grande errore di molti è che non si rendono conto che quando dicono "Non posso," in realtà dicono, "Non ci proverò." You can not tell what you can do until you try. Non puoi sapere cosa puoi fare fino a quando non ci provi. "Can’t" means you will not try. Never say you cannot concentrate, for, when you do, you are really saying that you refuse to try. Ne dites jamais que vous ne pouvez pas vous concentrer, car, lorsque vous le faites, vous dites en réalité que vous refusez d'essayer. Non dire mai che non puoi concentrarti, perché, quando lo fai, stai davvero dicendo che rifiuti di provare.

Whenever you feel like saying, "I can’t," say instead, "I possess all will and I can use as much as I wish." Ogni volta che ti senti di dire: "Non posso", dici invece: "Possiedo tutta la volontà e posso usarne quanto voglio." You only use as much as you have trained yourself to use. Vous n'utilisez que ce que vous avez appris à utiliser. Usi solo quanto ti sei allenato a usare.

An Experiment to Try. Un esperimento da provare. Before going to bed tonight, repeat, "I am going to choose my own thoughts, and to hold them as long as I choose. Avant d'aller au lit ce soir, répétez : « Je vais choisir mes propres pensées et les retenir aussi longtemps que je le souhaite. Prima di andare a letto stanotte, ripeti: "Scelgo i miei pensieri e li terrò finché voglio." I am going to shut out all thoughts that weaken or interfere; that make me timid. Je vais exclure toutes les pensées qui affaiblissent ou interfèrent ; ça me rend timide. Sto per escludere tutti i pensieri che indeboliscono o interferiscono; che mi rendono timid. My Will is as strong as anyone’s else. La mia volontà è forte come quella di chiunque altro. While going to work the next morning, repeat this over. Keep this up for a month and you will find you will have a better opinion of yourself. These are the factors that make you a success. Hold fast to them always. Accrochez-vous toujours à eux. Tieni sempre fermamente a loro.

Concentration is nothing but willing to do a certain thing. La concentration n'est rien d'autre que la volonté de faire une certaine chose. La concentrazione non è altro che la volontà di fare una certa cosa. All foreign thoughts can be kept out by willing that they stay out. Toutes les pensées étrangères peuvent être tenues à l'écart en voulant qu'elles restent à l'écart. Tutti i pensieri estranei possono essere tenuti fuori volendo che rimangano fuori. You cannot realize your possibilities until you commence to direct your mind. Non puoi realizzare le tue possibilità finché non inizi a dirigere la tua mente. You then do consciously what you have before done unconsciously. Poi fai consapevolmente ciò che hai fatto prima inconsapevolmente. In this way you note mistakes, overcome bad habits and perfect your conduct. De cette façon, vous notez les erreurs, surmontez les mauvaises habitudes et perfectionnez votre conduite. In questo modo noti gli errori, superi le cattive abitudini e perfezioni il tuo comportamento.

You have at times been in a position that required courage and you were surprised at the amount you showed. Vous avez parfois été dans une position qui demandait du courage et vous avez été surpris de tout ce dont vous avez fait preuve. A volte ti sei trovato in una posizione che richiedeva coraggio e sei rimasto sorpreso dalla quantità che hai mostrato. Now, when once you arouse yourself, you have this courage all the time and it is not necessary to have a special occasion reveal it to you. Ora, quando una volta ti svegli, hai questo coraggio tutto il tempo e non è necessario avere un'occasione speciale per rivelartelo. My object in so strongly impressing this on your mind is to make you aware that the same courage, the same determination that you show at certain exceptionable times you have at your command at all times. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||questionable||||||||| Il mio obiettivo nel sottolineare così tanto questo nella tua mente è farti rendere conto che lo stesso coraggio, la stessa determinazione che mostri in determinati momenti eccezionali, sono sempre a tua disposizione. It is a part of your vast resources. Use it often and well, in working out the highest destiny of which you are capable. Usalo spesso e bene, per lavorare al più alto destino di cui sei capace.

Il vous reste maintenant à former l'idéal le plus élevé que vous pouvez dans le présent et à être à la hauteur de cet idéal, et d'essayer de l'élever. Ora spetta a te formare il massimo ideale che puoi nel presente e vivere secondo quel ideale, e cercare di elevarlo. Don’t waste your time in foolish reading.

Their enthusiasm will inspire and enlighten you. |||||illuminate| Ihre Begeisterung wird Sie begeistern und erleuchten. Il loro entusiasmo ti ispirerà e ti illuminerà. Read slowly and concentrate on what you are reading. Lesen Sie langsam und konzentrieren Sie sich auf das, was Sie lesen. Leggi lentamente e concentrati su ciò che stai leggendo. Let your spirit and the spirit of the author commune, and you will then sense what is between the lines—those great things which words cannot express. |||||||||communicate||||||||||||||||| Lassen Sie Ihren Geist und den Geist des Autors kommunizieren, und Sie werden dann spüren, was sich zwischen den Zeilen befindet - jene großen Dinge, die Worte nicht ausdrücken können.

Lascia che il tuo spirito e lo spirito dell'autore comunichino, e allora percepirai ciò che c'è tra le righe—quella grandezza che le parole non possono esprimere.

Pay constant attention to one and one thing only for a given time and you will soon be able to concentrate. Achten Sie für eine bestimmte Zeit nur auf eins und Sie werden sich bald konzentrieren können. Portez une attention constante à une et une seule chose pendant un temps donné et vous pourrez bientôt vous concentrer.

Non abituarti a correre, ma sii deliberato in tutto ciò che fai.

Read long articles and recall the thread of the argument. Lesen Sie lange Artikel und erinnern Sie sich an den Thread des Arguments. Leggi articoli lunghi e ricorda il filo dell'argomento. Associate yourself with people who are steady, patient and tireless in their thought, action and work. Associati a persone che sono stabili, pazienti e instancabili nel loro pensiero, azione e lavoro. See how long you can sit still and think on one subject without interruption. Guarda per quanto tempo riesci a stare fermo e pensare su un argomento senza interruzione.

Concentrating on the Higher Self. concentrándose|||| Father Time keeps going on and on. Die Zeit des Vaters geht weiter und weiter. Father Time continue encore et encore. Il Tempo Padre continua a scorrere. Every day he rolls around means one less day for you on this planet. Jeder Tag, an dem er herumrollt, bedeutet einen Tag weniger für dich auf diesem Planeten. Chaque jour qu'il passe signifie un jour de moins pour vous sur cette planète. Ogni giorno che passa significa un giorno in meno per te su questo pianeta. Most of us only try to master the external conditions of this world. Die meisten von uns versuchen nur, die äußeren Bedingungen dieser Welt zu meistern. La maggior parte di noi cerca solo di dominare le condizioni esterne di questo mondo. We think our success and happiness depends on us doing so. Wir glauben, dass unser Erfolg und Glück davon abhängt, dass wir dies tun. Nous pensons que notre succès et notre bonheur dépendent de nous. Pensiamo che il nostro successo e la nostra felicità dipendano da noi nel farlo.
